# Use cases

Concrete scenarios that show how the gateway’s capabilities combine to address real operational and integration challenges.

| Use case | What it covers |
| [Multi-client authentication](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/multi-client-authentication.md) | Assign isolated credentials per client, partner, or application and enforce route-level access control. |
| [Your telemetry, your control](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/telemetry-control.md) | Export logs and metrics using OTLP-compatible pipelines to your preferred observability stack. |
| [Deployment on your own terms](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/deployment-on-your-own-terms.md) | Run the gateway on-premises, in hosted infrastructure, or in air-gapped environments based on compliance posture. |
| [Powering the MCP ecosystem](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/powering-mcp-ecosystem.md) | Enable agents to discover and retrieve tools dynamically via linked gateways or direct connections. |
| [Private network connectivity](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/private-network-connectivity.md) | Route agent traffic to internal systems without exposing endpoints to the public internet. |
| [Govern agents behind your corporate IdP](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/govern-agents-behind-your-idp.md) | Keep Entra or Okta as your identity source while agents gain a verifiable DID, policy, and one audit trail. |

- [Multi-client authentication](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/multi-client-authentication.md): Stop one compromised client credential from affecting every other client that shares your gateway.
- [Your telemetry, your control](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/telemetry-control.md): Keep your agent traffic's logs, metrics, and traces in your own stack and compliance boundary, not locked in a vendor console.
- [Deployment on your own terms](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/deployment-on-your-own-terms.md): Run the gateway where your compliance and network rules require, from a managed instance to an isolated server you operate.
- [Powering the MCP ecosystem](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/powering-mcp-ecosystem.md): Make the tools your agents rely on discoverable and governed, including the REST APIs that were never built for agents.
- [Private network connectivity](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/private-network-connectivity.md): Reach internal services and partner systems without exposing an endpoint to the public internet or standing up a VPN.
- [Govern agents behind your corporate IdP](/products/affinidi-trust-fabric/agent-gateway/use-cases/govern-agents-behind-your-idp.md): Give every agent a verifiable identity, policy, and audit trail without moving off the corporate IdP your security team already trusts.
